• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi i made an airport from scratch for FSX using FSXPlanner. I did the error check before i compiled and i got this:

Tower Viewpoint Altitude Is Either Below Gr...| This may cause problems.



thats all it says and i dont know what to do because where i have placed the tower viewpoint it is at the same altitude as the airport and i checked this a few time and it definitely is. So what is it that i need to do to get ridd of that error?

Hi Chappy,

Surely you will want the tower viewpoint to be above the airport ground level?
Start the viewpoint setting with, say 50 feet, check it in the sim and adjust accordingly.

Okay i changed the altitude of the tower viewpoint to 50 feet above the ground, i will check on this when i get it in the sim and stuff. The same error is still in FSXPlanner:

Tower Viewpoint Altitude Is Either Below Gr...| This may cause problems.


Will it affect the airport in any way when it is compiled?
I dont mind if it wont but if it will could somebody tell me how to get rid of the error please?

Thanks for the help so far

Hi Chappy,

As a non FSX Planner user I can't help you any further. If you are still getting problems and have not done too much work on this project perhaps you could try another utility.

Click to expand...

Hi,

Is that the full message? (ie ending in Gr...).

Also, that message is just a warning, so if it compiles correctly and the tower viewpoint is actually where you want it to be then there is nothing to worry about.

Yea thats all it says and it ends in the Gr... i dont kno if i can do something to see the rest of the message but thats all it says. I havent really checked the tower viewpoint because of all the autegen scenery in FSX i am trying to get rid of using SBX, but im having a little trouble, so i am just concentrating on getting rid of that and havent checked the tower viewpoint.

With the message ending in GR... it may mean that you need to expand the width of that particular table cell in order to see the full message. The ... means that there is more to the message than could be displayed in the space available.

-Russell
 
I tried what i thought i need to do to be able to see the rest of the text but it didnt work. how do i make it so i can see the rest of the text?

thanks

chappy
 
You should just be able to click on the little division between the table columns in the header of the table and drag it to adjust the size.

-Russell
 
Okay thanks. i did that and it said tower viewpoint is either below ground or 200 feet or more above ground, but its 50 feet above ground so i dont know why thats still displaying.


chappy
 
i tried to start the airport from scratch and the lat. and long. kept on going back to 000000 for both, so i just used another airport moved it to the right location and i had to change the elevation so that is why i used that file, also i said about the lat. and long. error problem and an admin was going to check to see if there was a bug but i never heard anything back.



chappy
 
I just moved the tower viewpoint to 15.240 metres and there is no error anymore, thanks for the help guys!
